Little Blooms - GBBD

You have to get up close to see most of the things blooming in my garden right now. I have no idea what this plant is. I don't remember planting it but I left it when I did the early weeding. After last night's rain and with the wind blowing today I wasn't able to get a very good picture. Am I nurturing another weed? If so it's ok, it's a cute little flower.


Trillium is my favorite spring flower. Several of the white one are still blooming but the red seem to be done.


I don't know what these shrubs are. They grow wild at the edge of the property. South of here I've seen the white ones blooming. I have both white and pink budding now. One of these has self seeded in the nightmare bed willow bed and I've decided to leave it for the birds and the butterflies.


The forsythia is almost done. It used to cover most of the western property line but the neighbors wanted it gone because it attracted bees :(


This redbud will be done soon. It isn't actually mine but I get to enjoy it anyway.


Other blooms:

  • Lungwort
  • Bleedinghearts
  • Azalea
  • Violets
  • Pansies
  • Fushia
  • Impatients
  • Forget-me-nots
  • Periwinkle
  • Spurge
  • Strawberries

May Blooms

I actually have a few blooms for this edition of Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. Still blooming are trillium, a daffodil, spurge and forsythia.


I have no idea what this tiny wild flower is.

Violets

Wild strawberries

This weed takes over local lawns so that right now they are a sea of light blue.

I just bought this azalea so it doesn't know that it's too early to bloom here yet.

Dianthus - this was marked as an annual so I was thrilled when all three plants came back and shocked that they are blooming already.

Grape hyacinths

The tulips are done. Salvia recently planted.

Periwinkle
